TRANSLATION

The son of Krsasva was Somadatta, who performed asvamedha
sacrifices and thus satisfied the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Visnu. By worshiping the Supreme Lord, he achieved the most ex-
alted post, a residence on the planet to which great mystic yogis
are elevated. The son of Somadatta was Sumati, whose son was
Janamejaya. All these kings appearing in the dynasty of Visala
properly maintained the celebrated position of King Trnabindu.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Ninth Canto, Second
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “The Dynasties of the Sons
of Manu.”
